At Morumbi, Internacional beat São Paulo in normal time and advanced to the unprecedented final of the Brazilian Women’s Championship; Girls face Corinthians in the great national decision
O International is a finalist of the Brazilian Women’s Championship for the first time. In the re-edition of last year’s quarterfinals, the Gurias Coloradas got the best of Morumbi and overcame the Sao Paulo 1 to 0 on the afternoon of this Monday, 12. With the tie by 1 to 1 in the semifinal leg, the teams played for any victory to advance to the decision.
in the first time, Mai Mai scored the goal that guaranteed Inter’s victory away from home. With the advantage on the scoreboard, the team held back the pressure rehearsed by São Paulo to confirm the result. In the second stage, the goalkeeper Mayara shone when he saved a penalty taken by Michaelly and secured the spot.
Now, the team from Rio Grande do Sul focuses on the grand final of the Brasileirão against Corinthians. If, on the one hand, Inter dreams of the unprecedented title, on the other, the current two-time champion seeks the fourth trophy in the history of the alvinegro club. In the other semifinal, Timão eliminated the palm trees after winning both games: 2-1 (Neo Química Arena) and 4-0 (Allianz Parque).
The season title will be defined in two games. The first match will be played by Inter, on Sunday, September 18. The return is scheduled for the following week, on the 25th, at Neo Química Arena. The times of the clashes will be defined by the CBF.
THE GAME
The teams had a busy first half and proposed the game. In the first big chance, in the 17th minute, Maii Maii tried from outside the area and the ball ended up hitting the post of São Paulo. The Girls opened the scoring in the 25th minute, with a goal by the attacker herself. In the bid, Duda took advantage of the leftover ball and rolled for Maiara Lisboa (Maii Maii) to send over Carlinha: 0 to 1 (1 to 2 on aggregate).
The second stage was disputed, with São Paulo taking more danger to try to tie the confrontation and force the penalty shootout. In the 36th minute, Yaya was brought down in the area by Benites and the referee signaled the penalty in favor of Tricolor. Micaelly went for the free kick, slipped on the support foot and Mayara made the save. In extra time, Carol hit the post and almost equaled for the São Paulo team.
